DISHWASHER CARE Interior Cleaning Many detergents may leave white spots or a white residue on dishware and on the interior of the dishwasher. Over time this residue can become unsightly and could affect dishwasher performance. Use of a dishwasher cleaning product such as affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner can help to remove the residue. Monthly use of affresh® Dishwasher Cleaner is recommended to help maintain the dishwasher. Follow package directions. NOTE: We recommend the use of high-quality, premeasured detergent tablets or packs and the use of rinse aid for dishwasher cleaning and daily care. Countertop Air Gap If you have a drain air gap, check and clean it if the dishwasher isn't draining well. Extended Time Without Use To Reduce Risk of Property Damage During Vacation or Extended Time Without Use ■ When you will not be using the dishwasher during the summer months, turn off the water and power supply to the dishwasher. ■ Make sure the water supply lines are protected against freezing conditions. Ice formations in the supply lines can increase water pressure and cause damage to your dishwasher or home. ■ Damage from freezing is not covered by the warranty. ■ When storing your dishwasher in the winter, avoid water damage by having your dishwasher winterized by authorized service personnel.
